But I WAS rather amazed that John REPOSTED the whole damn thing | to this list. I didn't need to see it AGAIN (for a ninth time, I think) | to know what note John was talking about. | | Oh, well..... | | dan There was some method in my madness, Dan :-) First, not all listowners were as "privileged" as you and Natalie and I to get to see the cross-posting in question :-) Second, I intentionally placed it at the *end* of my posting so that those of us who *had* seen it could skip seeing it again. Third, by posting it to LstOwn-L, this incident (which is one of the worst I've seen in the years I've been a listowner) is recorded for posterity in the Archives logfile -- in case anyone ever has occasion to need documentation of crossposting no-no's. My apologies if my madness was more obvious to you than my method :-) John
